Honestly, doing a reboot might be for the best. The process to get it started would be painful and awkward, but it might be worth it if every American can live the rest of our lives in comfort. We should live without worrying about poverty nipping at our heels.
Historically, most “reboots,” at least of the type I think of when you say that, make things worse. I think the labor movement succeeded because it was:
Laser-focused on achieving the goal at hand
Concerned with directly applying the existing power of the people towards it
No one was concerned at all about “tearing down” any government or about building up any new structure which was going to “fix” anything. It was dead simple: If you want us to work, pay us what we deserve, otherwise get fucked. Whatever governmental or industrial system wants to stand over that and tell it what to do, honestly doesn’t really matter all that much to it at the end of the day. Which I think is how it should be.
Towards the end, the government came around and started supporting the workers which helped lock in the gains, but they were doing all their changes from the bottom up and building up the strength there as opposed to any concern at all with the top part.
